Pambato natin............
Yun bang T-28D Trojans (Tora-tora), ginagamit pa, o retired na.
Yan atang OV-10 Broncos ang ginagamit pa. How about the F-5s?

The OV-10 Broncos are fine aircraft for COIN ops. Except for Venezuela, most air forces that have the Bronco aren't in any hurry to replace them. The key is maintenance. Unfortunately, even funds for that seems to be lacking for the PAF.
The Colombian AF have upgraded theirs. They now have 4-bladed props:
As for modern aircraft, this is it for the PAF right now. AS-211:
The rest of the PAF aircraft seems dedicated to moving political fatcats around. The PAF Order of Battle. It seems to be recent: http://www.scramble.nl/ph.htmLast edited by Jun aka Pekto; June 28th, 2007 at 07:13 AM.

Yes indeed.
After gaining my 'wings' I trained on Varsity multi-engined transport aircraft (known affectionately at the time as 'flying pigs'). Also flew Hercules for a while.
Sadly for me the new Labour government cut back hugely on defense spending and after 5 years I retrained as an Air Traffic Control officer and thus carried on my association with flying and aircrew for another 5 years.
We didn't have the benefits of simulators and powerful computers though.
Happy times..only eclipsed when I married my gorgeous Pilipino wife in Palawan 2 years ago.
Live your dreams.
